FFS! Wednesday with an ole fashion smash and grab at Elland Road. Sheffield walk away 2-0 winners with goals from Jacob Murphy and sub, Atdhe Nuhiu. Both goals scored in a span of 7 minutes at the end of the game.. ahh I feel like we've seen this same song and dance before. Leeds gap between 2nd and 3rd place Brentford has been reduced to just 6 points, while West Brom go atop of the league momentarily after their draw with Charlton. It's now or never, ALAW!
Gap will reduce to 3 unless Brentford loses.. I think Fulham won.. so the gap went from 11 to 4 between 2nd and 3rd. Bamford missed a PK, but also a dire 1v1 where the shot finished well into the stands. Refereeing has been comedic.. Nahki with a fortunate double handball on his goal goes unpunished. Anywho, I saw the take on Sky of Orta or Radz with his head seemingly burried in his arms after the result.. If a must-needed striker signing wasn't evident today, then, why bother mentioning promotion. Next date? Millwall without Yorkshire Pirlo due to his childish red. Don't think Southgate will appreciate that after his recent declarations of him feeling like he can handle the lofty heights of the national team. MOT!
Seems like its been a busy week for Leeds on the transfer market. Victor Orta opened up the week securing the signings of 18 yr old Italian shot stopper, Elia Caprile, from Chievo Verona, and 19 yr old English shifty winger, Ian Carlo Poveda, from Man City. Also seems that Leeds are putting the final touches on securing a loan-to-sign deal for 22 yr old French goal scorer, Jean-Kevin Augustin, from RB Leipzig.
Its official now, Leeds sign Jean-Kevin Augustin on loan from RB Leipzig. Here's to him scoring buckets of goals! MOT!
Leeds are home v Wigan on Saturday. Match is on ESPN+. KO 10:00 AM EST Away to Forest on Feb 8. Also on ESPN+ 12:30 PM KO EST The NF game will be a big one. No gimmes in this league.
Ahh yes, Wigan, NF, then Brentford. Remember fondly dropping points at home last season against a relegation fighting Lactics. Here's to history not repeating itself!
And surely enough, true to form.. history did indeed, repeat itself. Leeds fall by the minimum at home to a relegation fighting Wigan.. Off to Fores then Brentford.. season defining run of games i reckon...
Brentford is fifth, but they have the best goal differential. After that you host sixth place Bristol City, so that's three hard games.
Leeds with a crucial 1-0 win over Bristol City! Luke Ayling with another timely goal in the 16th minute. Baggies drew Forrest today and Fulham with a 3-0 walloping by Barnsley. Great day to be a White!! MOT!
Make that 2 on the trot! another decisive 1-0 win at Elland Road. 5 point gap between us and Fulham. MOT!
Couldn’t ask for a better day. Leeds win and all the other results go their way. I’m guessing 5 more wins and promotion is secured. I just won’t start dreaming just yet.
